Overview
This dual-degree program allows for the highly motivated high school student to attain the Bachelor of Science (BS) in Premedical and Health Studies and the Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) degrees in seven years. The Massachusetts College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences’ Premedical and Health Studies program combined with Barry University’s Podiatric Medicine and Surgery program gives students the quality education they need to succeed in the highly demanding field of podiatric medicine.
The first three years at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences will offer a blend of liberal arts, basic and biological sciences which will prepare the student for professional study. Upon completion of the first year at Barry, MCPHS will award the Bachelor of Science in Premedical and Health Studies degree.
